    The minimum level of an allowance for subsistence required under 
section 4955(b)(2) of this title, to be provided to each volunteer under

    provide for the years of volunteer service required by paragraph 
    (1), the Director shall submit a plan to the relevant authorizing 
    and appropriations committees of Congress that will detail what is 
    necessary to fully meet this requirement.

                       References in Text

    Section 4995 of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(3), (4), was 
in the original a reference to section 125, meaning section 125 of Pub. 
L. 93-113, which has been translated as reading section 124 of Pub. L. 
93-113 to reflect the probable intent of Congress and the renumbering of 
section 125 of Pub. L. 93-113 as section 124 by Pub. L. 103-82, title 
III, Sec. 333(2), Sept. 21, 1993, 107 Stat. 903. Pub. L. 93-113 does not 
contain a section 125.
